New ordinands explore issues in Liturgy and Worship

The Director of Training, the Revd Canon Ulla Monberg reports on another fruitful session of Post Ordination Training (POT) for our recently ordained clergy. They met from 10th – 13th May at St. Columba’s House, Woking, and spent three days together for worship, lectures and fellowship. (In the Church of England, newly ordained clergy are required to complete 4 years of training after their ordination).

The theme for this POT session was “Liturgy - Common Worship” and the sessions were taught by the Reverend Professor Paul Bradshaw, Professor of Liturgy at Notre Dame University and Liturgical Advisor for the Diocese in Europe. Bishop Geoffrey also provided some input.

The 12 men and women who participated in this POT session came from churches across the Diocese - from Austria, Belgium, France, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands and Switzerland.
